Summary:
Made by generations of women, the folk garment of the Romanian blouse secured its language despite eons of fierce changes. Author Simona Bortis-Schultz creates a cultural-historical biography of the blouse, from Neolithic beginnings in northeastern Romania and western Ukraine, through the period of folk revival, the Communist era and the post-Communist emigration out of the region. Design, location, colors and their semiotic significance relay the elements of a deliberate communication carried forth by women through enduring craft from prehistory to today. The Romanian proverb “to hold your heart in your teeth” means to move forward bravely despite fear. The book is an homage to generations of resilient women: honoring the design qualities of this feminine fortitude and the garment they made to survive.

In Glamour in Six Dimensions Judith Brown looks at the historical and aesthetic roots of glamour in the early decades of the twentieth century, arguing that glamour is the defining aesthetic of modernism. In the clean lines of modernism she finds the ideal conditions for glamour-blankness, polish, impenetrability, and the suspicion of emptiness behind it all.

La rayure et les étoffes rayées sont longtemps restées en Occident des marques d'exclusion ou d'infamie.

Sans faire aucunement disparaître ces rayures très négatives, l'époque romantique voit apparaître une nouvelle forme de rayures, positives et liées aux idées nouvelles de liberté, de jeunesse, de plaisir et de progrès. Dans les sociétés contemporaines, ces deux types de rayures cohabitent : celles des vêtements de prisonniers, de la pègre, des lieux dangereux et mortifères, et celles du jeu, du sport, de l'hygiène, de la mer et de la plage.

Afin de faire le point sur ses années de pratique en tant qu’architecte et designer, Maryla Sobek propose de considérer ensemble ces deux activités que sont l’architecture et le vêtement. La réflexion théorique à laquelle elle a consacré plusieurs années l’aura menée à un constat : la conception du vêtement occidental se trouve dans une impasse, et ce tant du point de vue de la structure que de la volumétrie. Quelles sont les solutions qui permettraient au vêtement de ne plus être tributaire des dimensions et de la structure du corps humain ? Sobek s’est lancé le défi de les explorer. Pour ce faire, elle se tourne vers l’architecture et opte pour un retour aux sources. Le choix d’une architecture non occidentale s’est imposé, plus particulièrement l’architecture dogon que l’on peut voir dans la falaise de Bandigara au Mali et qui est aujourd’hui considérée comme le parfait exemple de la rationalité en architecture vernaculaire.
